    Good old sweet shop that reminds you of vintage British sweet shops. You can find variety of sweets and nut chocolates inside. I specifically liked the peanut bar here, it tasted so good. Must visit if you come to york city tour.

    Old fashioned traditional sweet shop in the heart of York. So many varieties of sweets and chocolates with a fantastic selection of flavours. Does get a bit expensive because you need to buy at least 100g per sweet type but it it really worth it and the bag of sweets are lasting me a long time! Service was a little slow because of indecisive children otherwise it was really good.

    I only like peanut 🥜 sweets and they sell them I'm hoping have some in at weekend or I'm going to 😢 cos it's hard to get hold of them certain two shops had them in for ages now they have stopped them. To be honest I'm addicted to these sweets lol but it's a fantastic sweet shop childhood memories .

    Great range of traditional sweets in store. Able to mix and match (up to a point!) and try lots of new things whilst having the classic favourites there too!

    Great selection although not enough dark chocolate selection for me. Plenty of tasty milk chocolate treats as well as some really nice retro sweets
